☘️ Ireland Journal Fragments
Movement and Celebration
We biked and hiked and explored along the coast and up and down the hills and mountains of County Kerry in Western Ireland. I’ve not yet taken it all in, though I’ve taken notes.
I am on Irish time still, not quite ready to be home and navigate the mess I left for myself and we are having a pond party today, so I must jump into the preparation hustle!
Here, a little green from our last two weeks. I look forward to sorting through thoughts and journals and letters and voice memos on a good long walk here in the thick heat of Pennsylvania soon.

Best carrier I've ever had for my brushes
“I've struggled for years to find the perfect brush carrier for travel and now I've got that and more! The Helga stores all of my brushes for travel and in my studio. I've eyed it since it was first introduced, and finally pulled the trigger and purchased it. Exceeds expectations! I recently enrolled in the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh Diploma course for Botanical Illustration. I took Helga with me and was so pleased the variety of brushes I could take with me to their recent study week in Edinburgh and for once, I never worried about them getting crushed, misshapen, or compromised in any way! Thank you for creating the penultimate brush carrier! I look forward to its many adventures as I navigate through this program and beyond.” –Stephanie R.
Wyeth Plein Air Box
A wise investment!
“I am not an experienced plein air painter. But this box has made it so easy to just go out and paint. Everything I need in one beautiful, sturdy box. Although it is a bit heavy, I like how it allows me to paint larger. I also primarily paint in watercolor and I haven’t had any issues with the kit. I love how you can arrange the easel at any angle. Moreover, I’m finding that it is completely transforming my practice. I just love it so! The only problem is now I want to bring it everywhere I go. And you do need to invest in a high quality travel tripod so between the box and the tripod it is definitely an investment. But one I’m finding is totally worth it.” –Akane Z.
It’s my new hobby
“This bookbinding kits was absolutely brilliant!! Project was ready to go right from the package with amazingly clear instructions. I literally had a new book in my hands in about 20 minutes!! I added an old postcard (cut down to size) for the front and back cover to jazz it up a bit. Loved that you could still see the stitching once the book was complete. Lays flat and perfect for anything you want to do with it—sketch, journal, photos etc!! Highly recommended and would buy more from this great company!” –Catherine J.
The joy of walking
“I have always been a walker. I have found joy, solace and the bonus of fitness from walking. I am thrilled to have found this beautiful ring as a symbol of that pleasure.” –Christine M.
Classic Sendak Artist Roll
The best gift I ever gave myself was my Sendak Artist Roll
“I have been an artist all my life and was a traveling artist for over two decades. I taught classes at retreats, art stores, and conventions. I spent years trying every type of organizational products for my art supplies. Some worked better than others, but none were the perfect answer for my organizational needs. I needed my supplies to stay in place and be easily accessible as I was teaching. When I saw the Sendak I thought it looked promising and I ordered one that day. My Sendak met all my needs and expectations. I love that my supplies stay where they are put and so easily at hand. Also I no longer waste time checking that my treasured tools are safe. It saves my time from digging for what I need and confidence in knowing it is easily at hand.”
